pentru versuri

“Ladies and gentleman we interrupt or program of dance music to bring you a special bulletin from the incontinental news.”

The writing’s on the wall, but no one cares at all
To convey the message that we wrote ourselves
Destroy the walls we mend and burn the candle at both ends

(I really think we are)
Becoming more mindless of the heart
(Becoming everything we hate)
Building our castles for the future
(A Trojan horse is at the gate)
Built by the enemy that we made

It’s false sincerity, we hear celebrities
“Buy a hybrid if you can” with ten years of your food stamps
Caught myself listening to sheltered excuses for human beings

(So it becomes elite)
They separate then what have we got?
(Nothing in common with their wealth)
One clip can change public opinion
(One sin can send you straight to hell)
Learned how to lie and not get caught
More piss in the melting pot

Shut out majority with riches
(Their words become more valuable)
Then the voice of a million starving children
(That they have a million ways to solve)
Left freedom bleeding on the roadside,
We believe the biggest lie

Mai adaugati maine, 27 mai, la orar Ora de Punk, unde Recycle Bin va vor invata despre prosti si prostie, despre toate idioteniile pe care le gasim in tara asta, despre falsa politica si despre bodyguarzi ca specie de animale… printre altele.

…si cine poate prezenta formatia mai bine ca Pokemonu’? Asa ca intrati aici sa aflati mai multe despre ei.

Cand am ascultat pentru prima oara piesa Brand New Game de pe noul album Millencolin, m-am gandit ca este vorba de un album aniversar. Numele albumului, Machine 15, m-a facut sa cred acelasi lucru. Intradevar, prima piesa de pe album, intitulata chiar Machine 15, prezinta formatia suedeza la 15 ani de cariera (No, I never thought that I invented the wheel/All I ever aimed for was something real/Creativity is still my gasoline/Ever since Goofy gave birth to this machine, I’m not altruistic I don’t do this for you/I’d rather paddle my own canoe/But this is not a tool or a simple device/No this is machine 15 to be precise, The machine is turning 15).

Albumul pare a continua de unde a ramas Kingwood, indepartandu-se tot mai mult de skate-punk-ul pe care il cantau la inceput. Dar, cum zic si in Brand New Game, I’m not the same, years have past/It kind of scares me how it went so fast/This brand new game, will I surpass?/And all I wanted was to make it last. Ma asteptam la ceva mai dur si mai rapid… dar Machine 15 este mai slow si mai melodios decat albumele precedente, de vina fiind proiectul solo al lui Nikola Sarcevic. Totusi, nu pot sa spun ca e un minus, acest lucru fiind compensat de calitatea pieselor din punct de vedere al compozitiei si productiei si de versurile mature, nerepetitive si lipsite de clisee. Ca sound, MIllencolin ofera ceva nou prin piese ca Done Is Done, Ducks and Drakes si Saved by Hell, iar Vicious Circle si Brand New Game amintesc de Pennybridge Pioneers, cel mai de succes album al lor, facand astfel ca Machine 15 sa aiba diversitate si sa nu plictiseasca.

Machine 15 este, per total, un album accesibil ce poate fi pe placul oricarui ascultator de muzica buna, iar fanii Millencolin (daca avem asa ceva) ar trebui sa fie deschisi catre nou, catre schimbari, ca sa-l poata accepta.

In final, videoclipul piesei Detox de pe Machine 15:

Sunt sigur ca multi au uitat de formatia asta, ultimul album fiind datat acum 5 ani, in 2003, dar anul acesta se pare ca revin. In prezent sunt in turneu, site nou, iar pe 17 iunie lanseaza un nou album, la Columbia Records: Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace. Sincer, nu stiu la ce sa ma astept de la albumul asta, dar ascultand una din piesele noi (Hammerhead) pe pagina de myspace, pare a avea un sound mai putin comercial. Ramane de vazut… sper sa auzim de bine.

Tot pe 17 iunie, Epitaph Records va reedita albumele Ignition si Smash, aparute initial in 1992 si respectiv 1994. Ignition este cel de-al doilea album Offspring iar Smash - album de referinta al anilor 90, fiind singurul album care a vandut peste 10 milioane copii de la o casa de discuri independenta.

….asa…. nu am mai scris nimic de mult din anumite motive. Dar acum am revenit….

Ora de Punk, din pacate nu s-a tinut pe 13 mai din cauza unei pene de curent (multumim renel, electrica sau cum te-oi numi) si s-a amanat pentru data de 27 mai. Tot marti si tot Recycle Bin. Locatia nu se stie inca. Mai multe informatii in curand.

In rest, veti mai putea citi despre albume noi de la MIllencolin, Goldfinger si Anti-Flag,  Punk Rock Classics – No Control de la Bad Religion, No Use For A Name, interviu cu Voix de la Cobe si ce-oi mai avea eu chef.

La a doua Ora de Punk veti “studia” PsihoAnaliza. O formatie foarte tanara din Galati ce vine in Bucuresti special pentru acest eveniment. Va asteptam maine, 29 aprilie, ora 18:30 in Suburbia in schimbul unei sume cat se poate de mica: numai 5 lei. Despre PsihoAnaliza in propriile lor cuvinte:

Formatia a luat nastere in iunie 2007..deci are aproape un an.Este alcatuita din 3 membri : skama – chitara,voce , bab – tobe , pet – bass. Genul pe care il abordeaza este punk-rock cu diverse influente..pop,emo-core si ska-punk.La activ trupa are cam 10 cantece..

No Use For A Name, Room 19

It’s been so long since you’ve been here, and I’m dying
Is there something you would like to say?
Just drop the present on the shelf, by the flowers
And make the feeling go away
Looking back I can’t recall, who was listening
When I used to walk the streets at night
Like a bird that used to sing, I was flying
I was happy all the time, and it’s hard to look back

Better days and different ways I can’t explain
Another song to sing it all was simplified
Don’t know what it’s about, what have I learned to live without?
It takes a day to live a life

I can’t believe the way the world is so different
Look what the lines in my face have made
Living in my bed I’m right next to the road
The one that goes the other way, takes me to a different place

Did you know, that I was just as young as you
I had a job, a home, a family, and a car
Did you say that yesterday or just right now?
You’ll never know the feeling of my bleeding heart
Did you say that yesterday or just right now?
You’ll never know the feeling of my bleeding heart

….se aude cam aiurea, pentru ca e o inregistrare din concert, dar merge

Toata lumea vorbeste de emo. Unii sustin ca “sunt emo”, altii rad. Sunt pareri si pareri in toate directiile. Cert e ca majoritatea vorbesc in necunostinta de cauza, sau cel mult din auzite. Uitati de toate prostiile cu taiatul venelor si glumele care circula pe net si cititi articolul asta de pe wikipedia. Spune clar cum a aparut si cand, de ce, cum a evoluat si cum e in ziua de azi, cu date, nume si tot ce trebuie.
